The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is a 1964 film by Hammer Film Productions.
Production
The film stars Terence Morgan, Ronald Howard, and Fred Clark, and was
directed by Michael Carreras. Unlike most Hammer films of that period, it
was filmed at Elstree Studios, rather than the company's permanent home at
Bray. With the exception of (for example) character actor Michael Ripper,
director Carreras and designer Bernard Robinson, most of the cast and crew
were not Hammer veterans.
This was the film debut of Jeanne Roland, who played Annette Dubois. She
also appeared in small roles in two James Bond films - Casino Royale and
You Only Live Twice.
The score was by Carlo Martelli, but contained uncredited excerpts from
Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Procession of the
Sardar, and Franz Reizenstein's music written for Hammer's original
"mummy" film. |
Because union rules in Britain decreed that one person could not be
credited as the writer, producer and director of a film,
writer/producer/director Michael Careras adopted the name "Henry Younger"
for his screenplay -- a deliberate play on the name "John Elder," which
was Hammer producer Anthony Hinds' writing pseudonym.
The script was novelized by John Burke as part of his The Hammer Horror
Omnibus paperback in 1966. Interestingly, the basic plot was recycled for
a mid-1970s paperback original titled "Curse of the Pharaoh."
Plot synopsis
A mummy discovered by three Egyptologists is brought back to London by a
showman. The mummy begins to murder various members of the expedition
until it is revealed that a sinister character (portrayed by Terence
Morgan) carries a secret to the mummy's past and future.
